I am in the process of defining an application for a very small company that uses Postgresql for the backend DB. This DB will eventually run on a hosted machine. As you imagine all of the employees have Windows machines for their normal work asks. Frankly I am not very strong on Windows. so I am wondering what the consensus is for creating forms and reports? My first though is Libre Office as that is cross platform, and i can test on my development Linux machine. However, i am getting a bit of push-back from the user as he is having issues with installing Libre Office on his computer. he says it does not play well with MS Office. Also we seem to be having some bugs with Libre Office Base in early development.
Yeah, I gave up on Base awhile back due to its flaky performance.
What is the community wisdom here?
What I have done is gone the Web route. In my case using Django as the framework/backend and the users browsers as the clients. That greatly simplifies keeping up with changes on the client end. There is still a need to deal with cross browser issues, but that is less of a chore. As Igor's post said it comes down to what you are comfortable with.
